This book provides a vivid insight into the daily life of a gynecological practice. Readers learn about the flow of a typical consultation, the specifics of gynecological examinations, the medical support during pregnancy and serious illness, as well as the organizational challenges and the economic and legal conditions that a medical practice faces. Claudia Schumann also presents the internal perspective of the practicing doctors and discusses how they deal with responsibility, fear, and guilt in difficult treatment situations. Through concrete examples, the author, who has successfully run a practice for many years, illustrates why gynecologists should have a special awareness of the psychological and social experiences of their patients and what patients can expect from psychosocial support.
